The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1887-11-15

The southerners invasion of Ohio, headed by
Governor Gordon, of Georgia, is to be reinforced by
Governor bob" Taylor of Tennessee. That's all
right. Next year we may send Governor Beaver,
of pennsylvania, and Ex-Governor Hawley, of Con-
necticut, down south, where they have once before
done good Philadelphia News.
By all means let the two distinguished
republican leaders come down. They will
not have opportunity for effective work in
Georgia until year hence, but at that time
they can indulge their forensic inclination
to any extent they desire.
Georgia will vote for governor and also
on national ticket next fall, and in order
to give the two prominent leaders an idea
of the work that it is proposed to cut out
for them this way, we will state that Geor-
gia's democratic majority is about 100000
votes in quiet elections, but when any ex-
traordinary pressure is brought to bear that
majority readily increases to much larger
figures.
Indeed it has never been found out ex-
actly what is the democratic strength of
Georgia and in order to arrive at a definite
conclusion about it, we hope Messrs. Beaver
and Hawley Will come this way next fall.
1t is quite an easy matter to bring out our
usual majority Of hundred thousand, but
with popular sentiment so much one way,
and with the disadvantage of being forced
to contend against republican inactivity, it
is rather difficult to get beyond these dis
tressingly small figures
No doubt the democratic committee of
the state will be glad to cooperate with the
managers of the Beaver-Hawley combination
to get these two we'll known leaders to turn
their faces southwark. We should like to
arrive at proper estimate of our true
strength and their coming would enable us
to do so. There is noreason why our 100, 900
majority should not show its real strength
of $50, goo, and this can be easily obtained
if the republicans can be induced to carry
out the above proposition.

Farming in Ohio and in Georgia.

We print this week the first of series of
letters on the comparative profits of farming
in Ohio and Georgia. These letters will be
five in number and viii be worth their
weight in gold. They are written by Mr..
W. Glessner, Of Americas, Ga, who for
merly lived in Ohio. He is able therefore
to write intelligently Of the farming system
of both states.
Every farmer, north and south, should
read these letters. We pledge our word that

OUR "CHRISTMAS BOX" OF
PRESENTS.

On January 1st we will distribute $1,000
among our subscribers. From September LIST to
january LIST we put the name OF every subscriber
received in a box. On the latter date we shake
up the box thoroughly, hole is cut in IT.
One OF our weekly agents, in the presence oil
7hree others-draws out a name. That name
gets $500, the box is then shaken again, ana
another name drawn. That name gets goo,
and so on through the list.
Now YOU ought to subscribe for the paper
without expecting to get one of the presents.
Pay for it, for itself, just as you have always
done From reading the paper you get your
moneys worth, and more for your money
than any other paper gives you. BE satisfied
with THAT. Then if you get the 500, or the
5000 or even one of the So presents, take 1t
with our best wishes and our Christmas greet
ings
OF course we DO not pretend that every sub
scriber will get a present. Not one in every
hundred viii get one. But every subscriber
will have an equal chance. The box will
have the name OF every subscriber sent in be-
fore January 1st and no other names. Three
agents from different states viii shake the box
and will draw out a name while the others
hold it. You will have just exactly the same
chance every other subscriber has. Some per-
sons viii get every prize. 1t may just as well
be you as any one else.
We do claim this. We furnish you the big
gest and best paper that is printed. We furnish
II cheaper than any other paper. We give you
besides an equal chance with every other sub
scriber in 81 900 in gold distributed as presents.
No other paper does this. So il you like our
paper as well as any other, take it, for besides
the paper you have an interest in our "Christ-
mas box" which no other paper gives you.
But II you do not like our paper as well as
some other paper, take that paper and drop
ours, for you may not get one Of our presents
and then you would be dissatisfied. Take the
paper solely for the papers sake, and if you get
q present, you viii be just that much hap

Country Raised Men.

A writer in the New Y ork Mail and Ex-
press, in mentioning the success that Bill
Nye has achieved in the metropolis, calls
attention to the fact that New York, in all
departments of business, is practically man
aged by men who are not New YoIkers-or,
to put it more broadly, by men who were
not raised in city.
The truth of the matter is, New York is
no exception that holds good in all parts of
the republic. The American farmer is the
great recruiting ground of the cities, and
the most successful men in New York, as
in all other cities, are the men who have
been bred in the country.
The writer in the Mail and Express de-
scribes New York as a countryman's para
disc, and says that Greenwood cemetery is
the only place where the original New
Workers find peace and rest. He remarks,
also, that the native of New York city is a
very weak vessel. 1t is not the New Yorker
fault at all, but the fault of the conditions
by which he is surrounded.
The man who succeeds In this life must
be blessed with tolerable health, and he
must have that indescribabe experience
which can only be acquired in the country,
or in country town. New York has no
advantage over other cities in this respect.
The country raised boy will be found to be
invariably on top.

THE Dangerous Classes"

Some very able writers fall into a grave
error when they discuss the social problems
OF the day. They take it for granted that
''the dangerous classes" embrace only the
poor and criminal element
This is all wrong. The poor die and
make no sign. The criminals drift to the
penitentiary. In the long run they do So
ciety very little harm.
Our real dangerous classes are composed
of the bad and misguided men whose wealth,
position and methods enable them to con-
troll the legislation and shape the morals of
the country. The men who secure class
legislation, encourage monopoly, abrid9e
the rights Of citizens, and play the hypo-
critic, are our worst public enemies.
1t is difficult to attack the dangerous
classes when they are rich and respectable,
and pose as moral reformers They manage
to elevate hypocrisy, oppression and whole
sale robbery into system having the SEM
blance of morality and good government,
and their victims do not know how to de-
fend themselves.
Anarchy is very poor remedy for this
evil. The only sensible remedy is for men
to know their rights and maintain them. In
a country like ours the citizens who are de-
termined to preserve their rights under the
constitution are not compelled to inaugu-
rate internecine wars. They do not have
to rally around the red flag They have
only to stand up to their convictions at the
ballot box and all will be WELL Naturally
this suggests the thought that the enemies
of the people make it their business to cor
rupt the ballot. This, in itself, is one of
the greatest evils that we have to contend
with, but we have overcome it in the past,
and we can do it again when the popular
conscience is aroused
The prospect is not altogether gloomy.
One of these days a vital question will bring
the people to the front Unpurchasable
men will cover the earth with snow storm
of freemens ballots, and the dangerous
classes VIII be sent to the rear 1t is not
necessary to shoot these enemies of the
people. Ballots are worth more than bull
lets, but they must be intelligent and honest
ballots. This idea is worth all the thought
that can be given to it, because it is the cor
ner stone of genuine democracy.

The Sow Phonograph and Other Things.


Recently, in his hours of ease, Mr..
Thomas Edison, who has been for
many years engaged in paying the patent
Office and the patent lawyers large sums of
money, has taken turn on his phonograph,
the wonderful speaking machine.
When Edison accidentally discovered the
phonograph some years ago, it was regarded
as nothing more than toy. 1t was a curl
osity, but clumsy one. 1t was carri ed
from town to town as a sort of show. One
of them came to Atlanta in charge of con-
sumptiye from the north, and made some
remarks in a squeaking tin voice about an
old woman that had ''chestnuts in her
l-a-p-p!" 1t was a queer concern altogether,
and made old people feel like some Of their
children We're speaking to them through the
red mouth Of sausage-stuffer.
Mr.. Edison says that the operation of his
commercial photograph is simplicity itself
and can not fail, and he expects it to be
part of the equipment in every business
Office. According TO the inventor, the mer-
chant or clerk who wishes toEsend letter
has only to set the machine in motion, talk
in his natural voice and at the usual rate of
speed into the receiver. When he has fin
ished the sheet or ''phonogram, ii is ready
10 send through the mails, where his cor
respondent places 1t in photograph and
griuds out the message much more distinctly
and accurately than messages can be sent
/ over the telephone.
Mr.. Edison says that one tremendous adj
vantage is that the message may be repeated
/ q thousand times if necessary. Moreover,
I printers may set up copy from the phono-
/ graph, and people may enjoy concerts by
/ means Of the same invention, and what is
/ once seized IS practically mdestructible.
The Wizard o. Menlo is apparently as in
! ven,iye as ever. In addition 10 his phono-
/ graph, lie is working on a cytton-picker,

why Parsons Joined the Anarchis


why Parsons Joined the Anarchists.
From first to last Parsons has been the
most interesting figure in the whole gang of
Chicago anarchists.
He is the only southerner, the only Amer
lean among them. He is equally ready with
his tongue and his pen, and, unlike many
revolutionary speakers and writers, he has
shown himself to be full of pluck and de-
termination.
People have been at loss to account for
this young mans connection with the an
archists, and various explanations have
been suggested. 1t is thought by many that
| Parsons's choice of wife is at the bottom of
his troubles. Before he left Texas he mar
ried Aars-faeAd woman of mixed blood.
| This marriage shocked the better oIaoooo Of
society, and the pair found it necessary to
seek home in the northwest. In Chicago
Parsons and his wife found that they could
not never hope to rise in the social scale.
Mrs. Parsons felt this keenly, and her hus-
band sympathized with her. In their des-
peration they turned to the anarchists
Among these daring spirits there was at
least social equality. Color, rank and pre-
yious condition of servitude did not count.
Spies, Fielden and the others did not mind
the black current in Mrs. Parsons's veins,
and they did not sheer al her husband for
marrying her.
The result is known to everybody. The two
outcasts felt grateful to their new friends,
and entered heartily into their schemes
They saw in anarchy the only means of over
turning society and sweeping away the pref
udices Of caste. They gave themselves up
to the work OF bringing about a new order
Of things, an ideal commune, a socialistic re-
public composed Of q universal brotherhood.
This dream ended in a disastrous crash,
the two misguided reformers went down in
the wreck. Two more fiery souls never
staked their all upon the hazard Of a single
cast. They are worthy Of each other. If
Parsons has played the role of a tiger at bay,
his brown-s<inned wife has shown herself a
tlgress No matter how wicked and foolish
they may have been. they have certainly
displayed courage worthy OF better
cause
